HTPC Chassis for Linux use - Antec Fusion or other?

Hello all. I thought this may be the place to ask about compatibility for HomeTheater PC cases. I'm planning to build a HTPC and some of the cases that catch my eye include the Antec Fusion Black and Fusion Max series. These cases include a Soundgraph iMon VFD and IR reciever, as well as a remote control. If I buy this, I'll want to get these working in Linux of course, using a MythTV, XBMC or Boxee install. I've seen conflicting reports of opposite polarity about this hardware - some say it works easily in Linux, others say it is impossible. Anyone know? Can anyone suggest a HTPC case w/display and/or remote control that "just works" with Linux?

See, that was the kind of confusion I've been seeing on various forums when I googled around. Notes from 2007 and 2008 with the idea that stuff should be completed "soon" or workarounds that were never quite finished. So I can assume that as of 07/2010 all of this stuff has been mainlined into the LIRC and lcdproc packages? If that's the case all is well. Thanks.!
